I'm sure a lot of you know Dick who worked at Gas City and was a staple around sprint car races for years. I had seen a thread with people inquiring about his illness earlier this month and I just thought I would update those who know him as he was a close family friend and sadly passed away last night.
Dick lived for sprint car racing and I'm sure more than most of you have crossed paths with him in some capacity. It's not hard to come up with an abundance of flattering adjectives to describe the man he was, but even if you had just briefly met him you would find them as no surprise because he was as genuine a person that you could ever meet, but dedicated is probably the most fitting. He has had tremendous dedication to the sport and it gives me some measure of satisfaction that he was able to make it out to one last race last weekend, as it was where he loved to be more than anywhere else.
